Chocolate-covered pretzels, combine the best of two worlds: salty and sweet. They also look amazing in a Purim mishloach manot basket, too. Especially when topped off with colorful sprinkles.
But there’s another bonus to making these salty-sweet treats. They’re easy to make and your kids will love making them with you. It’s a great way to open a conversation about Purim and why we make and give michlochei manot.
